CVE-2026-79990

GQL entry mutation `siteId` bypasses schema site scope, enabling cross-site content read/write/delete

Published Sep 2, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Craft CMS GraphQL entry mutation resolvers (saveEntry, deleteEntry) read siteIddirectly from$argumentswithout passing throughArgumentManagerprepareArguments(), which is the function that enforces site-scope filtering via array_intersect against the GraphQL schema’s allowed sites. The query path (ElementResolverprepareElementQuery) correctly calls prepareArguments()`, so queries to unauthorized sites return empty. But mutations bypass this entirely — an attacker with a token scoped to Site A can create, modify, or delete entries in Site B by passing siteId in the mutations argument.
